Your Role:

This role is a chance to become the go‑to technology partner for Baxter’s executive leadership team — the people steering a global healthcare company whose products literally save and sustain lives. You’ll be embedded in the heart of the organization in Deerfield, providing white‑glove support to the CEO, his direct reports, and board members. The work is hands‑on, varied, and highly visible: supporting quarterly earnings calls, board meetings, town halls, and major leadership events; troubleshooting everything from Windows and Mac devices to Cisco Telepresence and AV setups; and ensuring that every executive interaction with technology feels seamless. It’s a role for someone who thrives under pressure, stays calm when plans change, and enjoys being the person everyone trusts when the stakes are high.

The team values problem‑solvers who communicate well, think on their feet, and bring a continuous‑improvement mindset. And because you’ll build long‑term relationships with executives and their admins, this is a role where you can grow deep expertise, influence how VIP support is delivered, and see firsthand how Baxter’s mission comes to life through patient stories, product demos, and company‑wide events. It’s a rare blend of technical challenge, visibility, and purpose.

  • Support on‑site and off‑site board meetings, leadership meetings, earnings calls, and major corporate events.

  • Manage SharePoint sites and assist with process improvements that elevate VIP support.

  • Drive adoption of new technologies and contribute innovative ideas for hardware and software usage.

  • Mentor IT team members and collaborate with partners across Deerfield, Round Lake, and global sites.

  • Oversee asset management, print server queues, software upgrades, and root‑cause analysis for recurring issues.

  • Provide AV and IT setup for town halls and other high‑visibility corporate events.
